lAXINGv AND SCOURING- PAD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 9, 1908.

Patented July 6, 1909.

Serial No. 420,329.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, GEORGE B. WATSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in l/Vaxing and Scouring Pads; and I do hereby declare that the following' is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in waxing and scouring pads and more particularly to waxing or scouring pads for sadirons.

It is an object of this invention to so construct the pad as to afford sufficient wax for polishing the iron but to prevent waste or too rapid consumption of the wax.

It is also an object of this invention to afford a pad for the purposes specified, one side of which is used exclusively for scouring and cleaning the irons and the opposite side for waxing and polishing.

It is also an object of this invention to provide an exceedingly simple, durable and efficient scouring, cleaning, waxing and polishing pad which is cheap to manufacture.

The invention consists in the matters hereinafter described and more fully pointed out and defined in the appended claims.

On the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of the scouring side of the pad with parts broken away to illustrate the construction thereof. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 or Fig. 1.

As shown in said drawings: A-A indicate sheets of corrugated paper board or other suitable resilient material which. may or may not have secured on each side thereof a suitable sheet of plain paper board a or other material which stiffens the corrugations. The layers of corrugated paper board are, as shown, arranged with the corrugation of one at an angle with those of another and may be of any desired number to afford the requisite thickness to form the core of the pad. Suitable sheets or pieces of plain paper board dmoz-a3 or other material are placed on each side of and between the corrugated sheets A-A.

A cake or sheet B of wax such as paraffin or other suitable waxing material is secured between the sheet af and a corresponding sheet a* which is provided with apertures af `into which the wax is pressed. An investing` covering O of suitable fabric is stretched around the waxing surface and sides and is rigidly secured on the sheet c3 by gluing, or in any other suitable manner thus firmly binding the various parts together. A sheet of emery cloth or paper l) or other suitable abrasive material is firmly secured on the sheet e3 in any suitable manner and fits over the edges of the fabric covering C, affording a very neat appearance.

The operation is as follows: In scouring and cleaning the iron the abrasive side of the pad is used after which the pad is turned and the iron waxed and polished. It will be noted that thc iron may be waxed without scouring and `vice versa. Inasmuch as waxy material is not constantly in contact with the irons, the same can be thoroughly and effectively cleaned.. By employing a sheet e on the outside of the wax cake, the wax is prevented from melting too rapidly by the heat of the irons and inasmuch as wax fills the holes af a sufficient quantity of wax is supplied to the irons even at the first usage without necessitating the wax first permeating the sheet. Inasmuch as the corrugations are arranged transversely of each other a very rigid core is provided which insures suicient resiliency for the most efficient results. A tab may be provided for turning the pad if desired and the abrasive material may be omitted if desired and many details of construction may be varied without departing from the principles of this invention and I therefore do not desire to limit this application otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

1. A scouring and waxing pad having a waxing and polishing surface and an independent scouring and cleaning surface and a resilient core separating said waxing and scouring surfaces comprising oppositely directed, corrugated sheets.

2. A device of the class described embracing a corrugated resilient core, a waxing' cake on one side thereof, a fabric covering for said core and waxing cake and a sheet of emery secured on the core opposite the waxing cake.

3. A pad for sad-irons comprising a resilient tablet or core of oppositely directed corrugated sheets having wax carried on one side thereof, an investing covering therefor and a scouring surface rigidly attached to said core.

A pad for sad-irons embracing corrugated sheets, stiffening sheets on each side thereof, a cake of Waxing material, an apertured sheet on the outer side of the saine, a fabric covering binding` said sheets and Wax together' and a scouring surface secured on the pad opposite the Waxing surface.

5. pad embracing a resilient core, a Wax sheet or cake thereon, a relatively impervious sheet on the Wax having apertures therein filled With WaX, a porous covering investing the saine and secured to the pad opposite the Wax sheet and a sheet of scouring inaterial secured to the pad opposite the Wax sheet and beneath which the ends of the porous covering are secured.

G. A pad embracing a core having oppositely directed corrugated portions, stiffening sheets therefor, a Wax bar on one side of the core, a perforated sheet on the Wax har having the perforations filled With Wax and against which the iron bears in Waxing, a fabric covering for the core, Wax and perforated sheet and a scouring surface opposite the Wax.

7. A pad embracing a core of transversely arranged corrugated sheets, a layer of Waxing P material on the core, a perforated flexible sheet of absorbent material on the outside of the Waxing material having the perforations filled with Wax and a covering of fabric covering and binding the corrugated sheets, waX- ing layer and the perforated sheets 'firmly together.

In testiinon whereof I have hereunto subscribed iny naine in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
